along the costa below the preceding, and another, broader streak just 
above the dorsum, running from the base to about 4 / s , connected posteriorly 
by a very broad somewhat curved transverse band just beyond the cell, 
extending along veins to the termen; these streaks glossy violet-purple, 
ill-defined in certain lights except towards the base; dorsum distinctly 
ciliate throughout, a narrow suffused marginal streak shining bright 
reddish-orange in certain lights, running from 1 / i to the tornus and along

curved posteriorly, apex pointed; sacculus very broad, 1 / 2 , its upper edge 
simple, harpe absent. Vinculum robust. Anellus broad, over 1 / 2 . .Tuxta 
long, slender. (Slide no. 881 D, type.) 
Bernhard Camp, 50 m, July— November 1938 (J. Olthof). One 
specimen. A very distinct species, with a peculiar shape of the fore wing.
